The towerman at Bradford, on that night, must have given the unlock to Wood River before 7.27, or 25 would have been held in the block beyond? asked Mr. Fitzgerald. To this the wit- ness replied, “No, sir; not necessariiy, but could go to the starter at Wcod River, before going into the signals at Bradford.” Witness considered that Bradford could stop 25 all right, but the mes- sage was sent to Wood River to give information at that place in regard two transfer of passengers at Bradford. Train 25 would have to get the red light to stop at Bradford and the sig- nal, or lantern must be used. There is no signal that can be given to a train by a towerman to come along slowly to get a message, unless it may be o red lantern to stop and then a yellow lantern for the train to slow and receive the message. Train Despatcher Haley resumed his testimony at the afternoon session, being questioned by Mr. Fitzgerald. It was his custom to notify that train was to stop at station beyond and that’s why he notified Wood River Junction first. Trains 25 and 633 were both scheduled to stop at Westerly, a regular stop, and passengers could be transferred at Westerly. Had 633 pro- ceeded 25 would have to stop at Brad. ford on the night of the wreck, and could have sent word in time to hold up 25. It was a question whether 633 could make Westerly and it was to be held at Bradford to transfer New York passengers and then was to proceed to New London from the Bradford siding. In response to query from Attorney Otis, the witness said he could not recall just what the message from Eradford read, but knew it was in re- | lation to engine trouble and mnot able to make time to New London. The message sent by witness for train 25 at Wood River could have been de- livered without having the train come | to a full stop. There was no reason why one train should not foliow an- other, provided they were kept s arated by the block system. The tow- ermen control the block System, but the block system is not necessarily cted with the despatcher’s work, upon consultation. The tower- depend somewhat upon condi- en matters out of the ordinary Haley said he had been a train and another train following in the next block. The Expression of Quality In a Motor Car UALITY, in a motor car, expresses it- self in appearance as well as in per- formance. It announces itself unmistakably — as good breeding discloses itself in a man or a woman. You scarcely know why a’ woman of refine- ment always seems exquisitely gowned, no matter how simple her attire. But the moment she enters a room, she is the quiet center of observation. You scarcely know why you instantly recog- nize a well dressed man — nothing about him intrudes itself, but everything about him is impressive. You cannot tell why a silent room speaks to you in eloquent tones of the taste and refine- ment that designed and decorated it. True artistry in the attire of a man or a woman, or in the appointments of a room, or in the design of a motor car, consists in blend- ing many small beauties into one beauty. Judged by thie difficult criterion, we believe the new Cadillacs will exceed your highest and most critical expectations. Cadillacs are beautiful cars to look upon. ‘The simplicity of design and grace of contour are un- marred by anything which savors of the tawdry or The crown fenders blend harmoniously with the pleasing lines of the bodies. Running boards are clear of encumbrances which mar a clean-cut exterior. Spare tires are carried at the rear You enter the car and alight from it through doors of lib- eral dimensions. Door handles are easy of action and so designed that they are not apt to catch the olothing. Entrance to the driver’s seat is facilitated by the hinged steering wheel which swings downward, but is held securely when driving, USUA N Ths tonneau entrance electric light. is illuminated at night .by an As you enter the car you are impreased with the roominess of the interior arrangement.
